The proposition of the state of Virginia to buy Mount Vernon and présent It to the nation As & memorial to the greatest of Americans is one which does Virginia much honor. But it has evoked strong opposition from some of the leading women of the ry, who resent the proposal to take out of the hands of American women the monumental enterprise for which the nation owes them a jasting debt of gratitude. For fifty years, says the Kansas City Journal, they have had con- trol of Mount Vernor, the most interesting historical souvenir in the land, and there has never been the slightest hint of m: management, even through incompetency, to say nothing of dishonesty. The small fes of X cents charged for admission to the grounds is hardly wort conside from a financlal standpoint George Washington to wish to visit Mount Veruon will be prevented from doing 8o by su neignificant charge. In all probability any one who could not afford the fee would be permitted to enter, while the establishment of an admission fee keeps out loafing vagabonds. But Mount Vernon really ought to be the property the United States. It would be no reflection on the women of America, who have done such a nobly patriotic work, for the historic home of Washington to pass Into the hands of the government on the contrary, the debt would be none tk less If after fifty years Mount Vernon should become as much & part of the na~ tion as the capitol or the White House. The property was originally bought from John Augustine Washington for $00,000, nd hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended on it since the first pur- chase. No finer patriotism was ever dis- played by the women of any country than that which actuated the women of Am preserving the priceless relics of gton in the ancestral home which s become the nation's most sacred shrine work has been splendidly done and well place the frults of half & century of devotion in the hands of the na- rament. One Woman Civil Service, No one at this day may say by what prescience it happened, but some twenty Years ago, when the city fathers of the thriving ttle Michigan town with the Indlan name erected their finest building © the uare, they placed on fits topmost pinnacle t rical figure fav says Mabel Potter Daggett in T Delineator.

Dark furs that have become very greas can be rubbed with a little pure urpen tine or gasoline, and later have t rubbed with bran slightly moistened w gasoline. Finally dry bran can be rubbed in. allowed to stay for a few hours, then shaken out. White furs can be cleaned by rubbing them with white starch mixed with gaso- line until the first dirt has come off.

Coats of heavy pieces keep well sewed up In heavy flour sacks. A newspaper 15 inserted in the top, th edges turned down all areund to shut out alr and dust, and the neck of the bag is then tightly tied. If you can find a bag large enough, the coat should be put on a hanger.

The sheer coats and mantles of chiffon, mar- quisette and net, unlined, weighted down by embrolderies and showing the colo: and outline of the frock worn beneath are one of the season's distinct features and have much to recor m, for they lend an outdoor appropriateness to a toilet without adding sensibly to the warmth of it, and also they are gracetul and becom- ing.
